Prior to ending the ascension loop of larger operations like split,
rebalance, and spanning store the gap in the node had been calculated. 
Once the node is inserted into the tree, the gap is recalculated in
mas_update_gap().  This can be avoided by creating a helper for
mas_update_gap() that accepts the known gap value, which reduces the
operations required for gap updating path.
